Night Shots with New Lens
Lens: Vivitar 24mm F2 28xxx Camera: K1 
Posted By: Gobuster, 06-28-2016, 10:31 PM

Got a new lens last evening and, since I was going out, took the camera for some night shots. The lens is a Vivitar 24mm F2 made by Komine, supposedly one of the better makers. It's manual focus so a little tough to use at night. Overall, I'm pleased with the results from this inexpensive lens.

I think the new lens ( and you) is doing a good job!

Thanks Janse, appreciate the compliment. I'm finding that once stopped down to f4-f8 this lens is very sharp in the center but still a bit soft in the edges. At f2 it seems to lose contrast but still reasonably sharp in the center. Overall, not bad for an old lens!
